great news on the second 50lber !!

Just got back from Brigueuil on saturday (17th). Had a bit of a mixed week. Had a great start on the Sunday when i banked 3 x 40's, 2 x 20's and lost a nice 30 at the net. Taught i was in for a bumper week but it wasn't to be. The lake just stopped fishing on the Monday and very little came out for the rest of the week, except to the dutch lads on swim 11 who had the 51. I managed another 2 x 20's to 26lb to end up with 3 x 40's and 4 x 20's for the week, so a cracking week all the same. I had The Parrott at 45-12, Stumpy at 44-14 and The Twin Barbel at 43-08. The photo's of the parrot aren't the best,a bit bright, and the ones of stumpy are blurred. I've pictures of stumpy from last year so no big deal.


The Parrott 45-12


Twin Barbel 43-08

Hi guy's,

thanks for all your help and support over the years that Dan has been here, we really appreciate it. With Dan's help we really feel that we are making some serious progress. We have removed a lot of smaller fish with the help of Davey, Lee and Anto towards the end of the season and moved them to our newly acquired stock pond. This year we have seen two of our fish push over the 50lb mark and also this week Frank's common came out at 49lb 2oz (verified this time).It is great to see so many familiar faces coming back year after year. We have noticed that the price that you guy's have paid for the flights this year have exceeded that of previous years. We accept that for a lot of you it can be an expensive holiday with the flights, tackle hire, food and bait. Because of this we have decided to do it in the form of a package. If you decide to fly in with tackle hire food and bait then we will do it for an all in price of 475 euros, this will include pick up form Limoges airport all your tackle apart from your bite alarms, reels, terminal tackle and sleeping bag (sleeping bag due to hygiene reasons) 10 kilo's of Darenth Valley Baits and your normal three meals a day. If you want to book dates for next year we will require 50% deposit as usual and the remainder of the balance 8 weeks before arrival. If you are interested please contact us, there is already limited availability for March and April. At this moment in time this special offer applies for 2012. On another note Dan seems to be having a great time in Thailand but we have only seen pictures of fish!!! LOL.

jesus, fair play thats a great deal. will defo make my first tripnext year.. paying nearly that for a couple of nights fishing glaslough next week..

yes ciaran thats the same fish alright, there`s been a lot of fish that are well up. i`ve only put up the 40`s. nikas fish is just under as well at 39.10lbs. there`s been a few more surprise`s already this week to, that i`ll put up at the end of the week.

Scott. yes this year they where fed during the winter but there`s a lot of things that have affected their growth in the last year. i took out 15166 crayfish, 58 carp, 180 bream, 879 chats in all 2500lbs of fish removed in 011 that with the fish i`ve removed in previous years has helped the quality of the water and dissolved oxygen levels massively.we also had a very good growing year with an early spring and a mild winter apart from feb which was very cold. i did hold a lot of water back from march last year which helped our level all year which again helped massively as brigueuil was named as the driest town in France last year and we would have had a repeat of 09 drought where we had very little growth.

another good week here, with some nice fish out again and a lot of them well up in weight. the fish where up the shallow for most of the week.
